   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      <B>fill</B> <I>direction</I> [<I>layers</I>] <BR><BR>
      <BLOCKQUOTE>
         where <I>direction</I> is any valid Manhattan

	 <I>layers</I> is an optional comma-separated list of layers
	 to restrict the operation of the <B>fill</B> command.

<H3>Summary:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      The <B>fill</B> command extends paint from one side of the
      cursor box to the other.  It is most often used to fill
      gaps in wire routes or fill paint between subcells.  The
      algorithm is to select all paint that touches or crosses
      the cursor box on the side opposite the indicated <I>direction</I>,
      and extend this paint in the indicated <I>direction</I> to the
      other side of the cursor box.  Paint that is in the cursor box
      but does not touch the side of entry is not changed.
   </BLOCKQUOTE>

<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      <B>fill</B> is implemented as a built-in command in <B>magic</B>.
